In a surprising turn of events, House consideration and expected passage of America Competes (HR 116) abruptly ended late Thursday when Democrats pulled the legislation following passage of a Republican motion to recommit the bill that would have substantially changed the bill and included an antipornography provision. Congressional leaders vowed to bring the bill back to the floor this week.
